"October sunshine bathed the park with such a melting light that it had the dimmed impressive look of a landscape by an old master. Leaves, one, two at a time, sidled down through the windless air."
~Elizabeth Enright, "Apple Seed and Apple Thorn," 1953
Fall has finally arrived, and we've got plenty of soft, snugly hoodies, and long sleeve tees that'll keep you warm and cozy on brisk market mornings. Join us tomorrow for some toe tappin' tunes with Last Small Town, and a market full of the freshest Fall produce around. And be sure to bring the kids for Pumpkin painting with Smativities. See you in the circle!

MARKET FRESH COOKING
Apples & Cabbage
|
|
Bavarian
Apple-Sausage Hash
From Taste of Home
|
Hashes are perfect for mixing and matching fall flavors. This one highlights Brussels sprouts but you could also try sausage with apples, onions, and butternut squash! We'd suggest using Breakaway Farms pork apple sausage.

Phillips Farms
Brussels Sprouts, Spinach and Honeycrisp Apples
|
Did you know that Brussels Sprouts got their name because of their popularity in 16th century Belgium? (You guessed it, whose capital city is Brussels). Did you also know that that a cup of Brussels Sprouts packs a whopping 4 grams of Protein per cup, which is surprisingly high for a veggie. Just don’t over-cook them, which is what turns most people off to them. Brussels Sprouts are available at Phillips Farms this week, as well as Spinach, Fennel, Arugula, Hot Peppers, and Garlic. And don’t forget the fruit! Apple varieties this week: Honeycrisp; Gala; Fuji; Ambrosia; Macoun; Jonagold;
Shizuka; Cortland; and Golden Delicious; Empire; Bartlett Pears and Asian Pears.

Pheasant Hill Farm
and PorTch Tea

Pheasant Hill Farm—The nice, cool weather is upon us, and the flowers love it! Some of the prettiest blooms of the season will be offered this week. I’m also saving pine cones and drying goodies for my Christmas wreaths this year.
And the PorTch Tea guy, Don, is harvesting and drying loads of lemongrass, ginger, lavender and much more to flavor some really good kombucha this week and through winter. The freezers are full of our blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and more, too. It’s a lot of work, but he, and we, are there for you. Happy Fall!

Valley Milkhouse
Butter is Back!
|
This Saturday, Valley Milkhouse is bringing FRESH grassfed cultured butter! Cultured butter is made with fermented cream to develop a richer flavor, similar to European butter. It is made with biodynamic grassfed cream from nearby Seven Stars Farm and has a golden yellow color from summer’s grazing meadows. It’s a great butter for finishing dishes or spreading on crusty Flour Shop toast with jam. The next butter churn will be in mid December for the holidays, so now is your chance to stock up (and freeze) your rations for autumn! The price is $10/lb sold in 0.6# compostable containers.
VMH will also be bringing Foxtail FETA, Witchgrass, Thistle, Clover, Blue Bell, Marigold and Motherwort!
